To heal a broken heart

Chapter 33

~Holly's POV~

I gasp as I feel Jayden's lips devouring me. The kiss is aggressive, it makes me feel all kinds of tingles shooting through me. I instantly kiss back, enjoying his passionate attack. My mind shuts down, my hands fly up to grab his neck and I feel myself being pressed against the wall behind me.

"Throw it away!", he suddenly grunts in between kisses.

"Hmm?", I reply, still completely distracted by his oh so sweet lips. He grumbles at my slowness.

"His number. Throw it away", he orders once again, his voice leaving no room for discussion. My eyes finally widen at his words, only now understanding what he talks about.

"You can't seriously think that guy gave me his number!", I start to laugh, thinking it's ridiculous. Yet, under his totally serious gaze my laughter dies down quickly. My eyes widen. Again.

"Wait, you're serious?"

I quickly search for the small paper, finding it in my left hand, completely squished from me gripping onto Jayden's neck before. Once I open it, my eyes nearly fall out of their sockets. There in a messy handwriting are numbers, complete with the name Julien and a winking smiley next to it.

"What the fuck", I mumble astonished. What just happened? When I look up at Jayden he looks at me with a deadpanning expression.

"I told you so, now throw it away", he grumbles impatiently. "I don't like my girl getting hit on."

"Your girl?", I ask full of insecurities once again. His choice of words lets my legs feel like jelly and I instinctively grab a hold of his shirt to hold me up. He smirks at my sudden wobbliness, gripping my hips with his large hands, making me feel safe and secure again.

"My girl. You're mine now in case you didn't notice already. And I don't like to share", he tells me. "I'm a bit protective of the things I like."

"You- I- I-"

His chuckle interrupts me. He gives me a quick peck on my nose, making me blush and then steps away from me, making sure I can stand properly before letting go of my hip. Looking in my eyes he holds his hand out, waiting for something. I stare at him for a second, then it clicks.

"Oh, yeah, sorry", I mumble, flushing even more. I quickly hand him the small note. To my surprise and utter shock there's suddenly a lighter appearing in his hands and holding it under the paper he sets it on fire. I watch in shocked silence when he waits till it's nearly completely burned to let it fall out of his hands and onto the cement floor. A smile of weird satisfaction graces his handsome face while I don't know what to say. Did he really feel the need to BURN it?!

"Let's go, the others are waiting", he says and gently grabs my arm to pull me over to his waiting group of friends. They eye us in curiosity, but neither Jayden nor I say something.

"I want to show you something", he tells me instead and I nod, trusting him.

Fifteen minutes later we come to a stop in front of a worn-down looking building. It seems to have many floors, reaching high up in the sky, an abandoned skyscraper.

"We're here", Jayden's voice interrupts my curious look.

"Where-"

"You'll see", he smiles and I believe I see some nervousness dancing around his eyes. However I just nod, he'll show me soon enough. Taking my square, pudgy hand in his strong and lean one, he gently pulls me over to what seems to be a side entrance, hidden in a small, unremarkable alley. To my surprise he pulls out keys and opens the door, which doesn't make a sound regardless of its worn-down look.
